note the attached picture. dad made the comment that "clowns have to have ties too." doesn't the green and orange ones remind you of some of the totally horrid ties from the 70's? they look like they belong in the 10 cent bin at the salvation army thrift store. i certainly wouldn't pay the sale price or the regular price for these ties, nor would i been seen with anyone wearing one! i really don't know what is up with the tie, shirt, jacket combos that i've seen some guys sporting on the t.v. there was the spokesguy at the white house that was wearing a white shirt, red polka dot tie, and grey striped jacket... give him a red plastic nose and he could have been the hobo clown in the circus! it's like they're all getting dressed in the dark AND they're print and color blind as well! it's scary... i can't even pay attention to what the news is sometimes because i'm focused on the gastly clothing combos the news guy is wearing. not that they're saying much lately anyway... ever heard the song "dirty laundry" by don henley? it's SO TRUE!
ok, so, i'm back online at home. had to get a new modem. DO NOT BUY MODEMS MADE BY U.S. ROBOTICS!!!!! they are crap. i went through 2 of them in maybe a year and a half. and it's not that lightening is getting them... i always unplug the cord outta the back when i'm not using it. the phone company likes to test the lines around here too much. the modem before the bad ones was the one that came with the dell computer back in 1999, it lasted about 6 yrs. i went to best buy this time (i was over there, the 9 yr old had a orthodontist visit. just a check up. she'll need to start getting those teeth fixed in about a year and a half.) and had to give up $40 and tax for the new one. but it has intel stamped on it, so i'm happy. i finally traced the problem to the modem when the phone guy called and said he'd tested the lines and they were fine. (sure, just wait until it rains again!) i dug out the ibm 486 processor thinkpad laptop with the 14.4 modem running win95. i hooked it in, and it dialed up just fine.
you've just gotta love that it's 92 F on october 1st! our weather can be so strange. i don't dare put the summer stuff away until almost december... and then you're never really sure.
OH, a word of warning. bacardi 151 is VERY STRONG. i'd seen some report about a lawsuit in a bar in like florida or somewhere. so, i'm like, sounds like some good stuff to try. i bought the small bottle at the liquor store, and added the usual shot to my pop of choice (this time it was diet mt. dew). i have vague recollections of my husband taking off my jeans and socks and putting me to bed. if i would have paid attention, i would have realized that "151" isn't just a neat sounding name, it's the PROOF! one good thing did come of this, i had a toothache and now it's gone! i do not normally drink like this! i can truly say that i have never been this drunk in my entire life. i never saw the point in high school... at the keg parties thrown by the baptist preachers son. i still hate beer. i was always telling them when i got invited, "if i'm gonna have a hang over it's not gonna be from drinking too much beer! just think of it as more for you!".
went to the tulsa state fair yesterday and my 7 yr old rode the super round up for the first time! her first adult ride! i'm so proud! this was my 9 yr olds third year for adult rides. she goes on zingo and the super round up with me.
well, that's all for this week! stay tuned...
